What is the best marketing growth hack that you actually used and saw results?

That's a really brillant idea, thanks for sharing 👏 I have two growth hack tips that has worked well for me in the past: 1) Curate Twitter for the best tweets / suggestions / insights about a certain topic and embed them all into a blog post. Share this blog post on Twitter and tag the individual users who tweeted the tweets included in the blog post. 2) Create a giveaway by contacting peers in your industry and ask them for vouchers / free copies of their products. Then run a huge giveaway event where you promote your own and their products and give them away for free to lucky winners who have to signup via email to participate. This can work well for everyone involved if there's a good overlap between your and your peers' customer-base.

Nice growth hack! I recently finished 101 Ways To Get New Users & Clients Online on Gumroad: https://gumroad.com/l/5u4a I'll pick 3 at random from the 100+ ways: 1: Reverse Social Media Lead Generation If you need to sell your services, consider using Twitter. For example, if you own a flower shop, search on Twitter, 'where can I buy flowers?'. Relevant Tweets will pop up, which you can respond to with information about your flower shop services. 2: Job Outreach You can use job outreaches to sell your business services. Job outreach entails applying for a relevant job vacancy with a custom yet promotional resume. For example, a search engine optimisation agency might apply for an SEO position. 3: Create A Down-Sell Most people ignore down sells, but they are a great way to get new prospects to convert at a lower price point. A down-sell can be a smaller service, limited usage, or limited time. Typically, down sells can later lead to upsells. If people want more, let me know and I'll post some :)

In my case, joining relevant Facebook forums worked. My app (Company 360 for iOS) provides stock market research, therefore I joined 4-5 forums for traders and investors that use bare-bones trading platforms like Robinhood. I typically post few responses once a day to a popular topic/question and I include screenshot and link to my app. When I reviewed AppStore statistics, it showed products page sources split close to 50/50 between AppStore searches and Facebook app/website. In addition, someone from one of the forums reposted the link in WhatsApp so I’m now seeing views from WhatsApp as well. The only problem is to convert free-version users to subscribers. Right now I’m adding new features for subscribers only and AppStore alerts all users about the update which will hopefully increase conversions. I do one new feature per update now - frequent updates mean frequent notifications to all users.

Building on the "recap" blog strategy, we did a Product Launch Playbook blog post. It clearly outlines our strategy - which we give away - but also uses the social proof and evidence that Zipcan received. We curated content from Product Hunt, Twitter and PR. Search 'zipcan product launch playbook' to check it out.

Not a growth hack but a small question.. advait vaidya I'm an indie maker and I love to create products for the people out there. But whenever I try to do sales and marketing, I start lacking. I want to ask the PH community that how they contact a marketer which can work on it also as an indie project and make money with profit sharing or equity model. Also, is there any platform where makers can connect with sales peeps and marketers?

Growth Hacking is always a little in the grey zone, this one have worked alot for me: Step 1 Create/buy a fake personal Facebook profile Step 2 Join a bunch of relevant FB communities with the fake profile and your own Step 3 Write posts from the fake personal profile with your service/product and then interact with your own profile.

So, I'll share a few that have worked for me. if you want to rank for a keyword that has high competition and difficulty. For example keyword "Cred Offers". here are the things I did to make it rank 1 on google in 5 weeks. Copy the meta description, title of the content ranking 1st on google search for that keyword. Optimise it with month and year in the content, meta description and SEO title. Try to insert a table with the keyword and the month, year. Run some Google search ads on that landing page for the similar keywords as soon you make the 1st changes. Voila. You can at least rank the keywords on the 1st page of Google Unless the competition is too much and the competitors keep upping their game. For the Cred offers, we are ranking above Cred official website https://www.google.com/search?q=... Social media hack Find you competitor and influencers (that have the same/ almost same target audience as your business) Instagram post that they have put that particular day. Comment a witty line(don't be mean. be genuine, put some trending line with a twist) on their post, create brand witty wars, make your team like the comment to raise it to the top. Your brand feed gets a lot of impressions, views. If you want to grow your telegram channel/ community for your brand Make a video showing your used cases, one static creative with the same copy. Run Facebook ads with target audience and increase your telegram traffic. For eg: Flipshope extension telegram channel it has features such as auto apply coupon, price tracker,- we made two ad creatives and ran ads on the telegram channel link. Our subscribers count grew by 40%. Target audience- people who like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio and some influencers. We tested it out with 3 creatives, one worked the best and it was the most simple video.
